When the going gets tough, Proxima gets furloughing

Pros

Very supportive group of people, pretty good culture although seemed forced at times

Cons

Proxima treats its full-time employees like temporary contract workers. When there are bumps in the road or issues with clients, Proxima's first line of defense is getting rid of you no matter how long you have worked there for or how much good work you did for them. It's a great place to work if you like to wake up every morning wondering if you will have a job that day anymore. If you decide to work for Proxima you should probably have a 6-month emergency fund on hand

Pros

Not that many - above average salary, high PTO policy (that you won't get to use due to program leads and unrealistic deadlines or expectations), comradery among your peers that are in the trenches with you -- which is dependent on your program and the politicking that those around you are angling for.

Cons

Proxima has an inherent issue that has yet to be addressed - the selling point and headline is "world leading procurement and supply chain consultancy" yet nothing that is achieved or sold is world class. The supply chain practice is in its infancy and has lost key members over the past six-months, client work is sold as strategic and yet most work actually accomplished is very tactical and transactional, and leadership is not in-tune or connected to the employees and their desire for growth.

Pros

I have been part of the Proxima family for the last eight years. In that time, I have risen from a green analyst, fresh out of university, to a program manager running engagements for Fortune 10 clients. Proxima has shaped and fueled my professional growth at an accelerated speed, and my time here has developed my professional and soft skills. I have always felt that Proxima offers its employees support in sometimes challenging environments. What makes the company is its people, the professional office culture, and the inclusiveness of the team.

Cons

Continue to increase the diversity of employees Continue to derisk the reliance on large clients by focusing on a greater number of smaller engagements
